Young arrested again

By PAULA PASCHE@PaulaPascheTitus Young, the former Detroit Lions wide receiver, was arrested again on Friday night in San Clemente, Calif.

Young remains in custody on a $75,000 bond with his next court hearing set for Monday or Tuesday.

The charges were attempted burglary, assault of a police officer and resisting arrest, as first reported by the Detroit News.

Lt. Joe Balicki of the Orange County Sheriff’s office, said a call was received on Friday night from a homeowner in San Clemente saying someone was in her house. When police arrived Young was outside the residence. He is not related to the homeowner.

Young, once a speedy NFL wide receiver, fled the scene on foot. Police deputies were somehow able to catch up to him.

“A brief altercation occurred, punches were thrown,’’ Balicki said.

The deputies were able to handcuff him without the use of a Taser.

Balicki said neither Young or the deputies were injured despite the punching and kicking.

The burglary count is a felony, although if the charge is reduced to trespassing it would be a misdemeanor.

The assault on a police officer charge is a felony, while resisting arrest is a misdemeanor.

Balicki said Young was still in custody as of 3 p.m. Sunday.

In all likelihood it was because of his two arrests on May 5 by the Moreno Valley (Calif.) Police. The lieutenant said in California there is an crime-bail-crime law that will keep someone in custody until they go before a judge if that person is on bail from committing a different crime.

Young had been arrested twice in 15 hours on May 5 in Moreno Valley which is about 70 miles from San Clemente. He was arrested early in the morning hours that day for driving under the influence. After he had been released he was arrested on burglary charges for trying to steal back his black Mustang which had been impounded.

Young, a second-round draft pick by the Lions in 2011, was released on Feb. 4.

The police report lists his occupation as unemployed.

Young had been troublesome through much of 2012. It started with sucker-punching his teammate Louis Delmas. He also lined up in the wrong spots during a Nov. 18 loss to Green Bay. He didn’t play a snap the rest of the season.
